Speaking of the LJ strikethrough thing

liz_marcs has once again summed up the issue really well.

This bit made me think, WORD. Loudly.

6A/LJ is, like it or not, private property. Our Corporate Overlords (be they 6A/LJ or some other blogging/journaling service) have the right to decide what they will and will not host on their servers. They also have the right to refuse service to potential customers they don't want. They also have the right to decide how their existing customers may and may not use the service they provide. Furthermore, they have to do it in accordance with the rules and regulations and laws not just in the U.S., but also within the state of California (where the servers are located). I guaran-fucking-tee you that those rules and regulations and laws are a hell of a lot more restrictive than any First Amendment (and, as it turns out, a few European and Asian countries).

Here's my actual problem with 6A/LJ:

Bad customer service.

Yep. That pretty much sums it up for me, too.
 

Pay it forward: Handmade gift, anyone?

Ganked from chicklet73.

Pay It Forward: I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 people who leave a comment here. I don't yet know what that gift will be, but you will receive it within 365 days. The only thing you have to do in return is "pay it forward" by making a similar agreement in your own journal.
